New synonymies in the plant bug family Miridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Northern China Author Konstantinov, Fedor V. text Zootaxa 2016 4205 5 496 500 journal article 37565 10.11646/zootaxa.4205.5.10 4fafc555-652c-421c-a5ca-1638da331cc4 1175-5326 198086 2C7B58AE-541D-4409-8DF1-01368E368972 Psallus amoenus Josifov, 1983 ( Figures 3–4 ) Psallus amoenus Josifov, 1983 : 208 . Psallus henanensis Li & Liu, 2007 : 675 . New synonymy . Li & Liu (2007) described Psallus henanensis from Henan , Northeastern China . Although I was not able to examine the type series of this species, the detailed original description and illustrations allow for the conclusion that this species is conspecific with Psallus amoenus Josifov. The latter species was described from the vicinity of Pyongyang , North Korea and can be recognized from congeners by the J–shaped vesica with distinct subapical process and finely serrated lobe at the base of apical blade, and characteristically twin–coned right paramere ( Figs. 3–4 and 52–55 in Josifov 1983 ). Psallus henanensis Li & Liu is morphologically inseparable from P. amoenus Josifov and, thus, a junior synonym. The second species described in the same paper, Psallus fortis Li & Liu may represent a synonym of Psallus castaneae Josifov, 1983 but I have not examined males of both species and refrain from synonymizing them here.
